What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

I woke up and threw all my toys away from my crib and start crying.

I loved to stay alone in my room drawing or playing with my legos, I could do that for hours.

These are my resumed signs of autism when I was a child. Most of them got overlooked because the only thing about autism my parents and grandparents knew was about very severe cases of autism. Another factor is that I was born female (I'm trans) and that I masked from a young age.

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

I interacted with older or younger children and if I didn't have that chance I talked to some teachers.

I wasn't unable to get non verbal communication and non literal communication too.

I learned many skills like reading and writing earlier than other children.

I was a calm baby, I didn't cry that much and I didn't need another person's entertainment.

I used to hit my siblings very often, that was my way of playing with them.

I was over or under sensitive to most sensory input causing sensory seeking oravoiding reactions.

I had a fantasy world, I was always there and that was the best place to be, when I was anxious I went there and zone out.

I also didn't group play, I was physically close to those children but I was parallel playing most of the time.

I had limited interest in another children, I normally played just with my brother but no other children. I occasionally played with my cousins.

I didn't know why people felt happy or sad in determined situations.

I will answer this question showing my signs of autism I had as a child:

I didn't pretend play like the other children. I didn't know how to do that specially with other children.

Anything could make me laugh to the point of annoying other people.

I was very obsessed with angry birds, I played angry birds, I had ab toys, I watched ab in TV and I was so obsessed with that.
